Erskine Park Mount Vernon

Erskine Park and Mount Vernon are neighbouring areas in Western Sydney with very different lifestyles. Mount Vernon is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $3,177 compared to $2,349 in Erskine Park. It also has a much higher share of people who own their homes outright (55.3% versus 30.6%) and more residents who use another language at home (36.4% compared to 22.6%). Erskine Park is far more accessible without a car; it is considered somewhat walkable and has many more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks and groceries, whereas Mount Vernon is car-dependent.

While these two areas have stayed very similar in their share of overseas-born residents and the typical personal income of their adults, the gap in their walkability and transport access remains huge. Erskine Park has far more public transport departures and a higher share of homes near stops. In contrast, Mount Vernon is much more likely to have homes with five or more bedrooms and families with four or more cars.
